Since embarking on my nursing career in 2011, I’ve assumed diverse roles that have enriched my professional journey. In 2017, my relocation to Western North Carolina (WNC) brought to light a pressing demand for healthcare providers specializing in substance abuse and mental health. Recognizing this imperative need, I committed to advancing my education and successfully transitioned into the role of a nurse practitioner.

I consider myself fortunate to contribute to their recovery and play a pivotal role in fostering positive transformations daily.
